Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's got to be real

Girl, I could write a book on how you're makin' me feel

I know I'll never find

Another who could match the love you're givin' to me

[Verse 2]

So, (This is) for the lover in you

This ring means I'll always be true

(This is) How we'll start love anew

This time (It's gonna last forever)

[Verse 3]

I trust you, yes, I do

And, girl, you're not the kind a guy could easily charm

'Cause the meaning of love

Is always shown to me when you are wrapped in my arms

[Verse 4]

Oh, baby, (This is) for the lover in you

(This ring) This ring means I'll always be true

This is how we'll start love anew

(This time it's gonna last forever)

I don't wanna, I don't wanna give you up

(This is for the lover in you), I love you, baby

(This ring), ooh

(This is) For the lover in you, girl

(This time it's gonna last forever)

[Verse 5]

I could say I never met a girl, no, no

Who satisfies my mental and my physical thing

When I lay me down to sleep

I rest assured with the thought that you are right next to me, my baby

[Verse 6]

(This is for the lover in you)

Take this ring (This ring), it means I'll always be true

This is how we'll start love anew

(This time) We're gonna last forever

This is for the lover in you (For the lover in you)

Take my ring (This ring), oh

(This is), sweet thing, yeah

This time we're gonna be together

[Verse 7]

Oh, so much love

Between us

I'll be the one to come runnin' (Be the one to come runnin')

Oh, home to you (Home to you)

You give me sweet love

But with a woman like you

I don't need to play around

Oh, you're more than just one woman

You're blowin' my mind with the love that you're givin'

That's what you hear me say, girl, everyday

[Verse 8]

(This is) It's for the lover in you, baby (For the lover in you)

With this ring I'll show you (This ring), that there ain't no maybes

(This is) It's for the lover in you, baby

And this time we're gonna last forever

[Verse 9]

(This is) It's for the lover in you, baby (For the lover in you)

With this ring I'll show you (This ring), that there ain't no maybes

(This is) It's for the lover in you, baby

And this time we're gonna be together

[Verse 10]

(This is) It's for the lover in you, baby (For the lover in you)

With this ring I'll show you (This ring), that there ain't no maybes

(This is) It's for the lover in you, baby

And this time we're gonna last forever
